REINVENT
YOURSELF
THIS SPRING
Spring is a time of fresh starts and new
beginnings. It is a season of renewal.
So, what better time to give attention
to reviewing and reviving your goals,
dreams and desires?
Rebirth happens inherently in nature with
trees and plants budding so it makes
sense that we too follow the instinct to
renew ourselves.
We do spring cleaning by purging old
clothing, prettying up yards and cleaning
out pantries. What about some mental
and emotional tidying up?
In the long run, detoxing our thoughts is
even more impactful. Mental debris takes
the form of memories, limiting beliefs,
stories, traumas, and conditioning that
keep us stuck in old patterns, attitudes
and habits. Imagine the energy you
would free up by purging those!
Taking some time to focus on your needs
to discover the things that make you
happy helps create a clear and refreshed
mind.
First, pause to reflect on what’s working
for you and what’s not. What’s keeping
you stuck? This needn’t be a long
process - on the contrary, tuning in and
trusting your first response is often most
revealing and enormously helpful.
Once aware of the thoughts and habits
you choose to let go of, you can begin
your plan to purge them along with
the old clothing and expired groceries.
If you think cleaning out a closet feels
good, try eliminating your old limiting
beliefs.
This creates more space to grow and
blossom than you can imagine. We
know that freeing up space in your
home makes you feel lighter, and
creates an opportunity to bring in new
things we love. Likewise, releasing
outdated beliefs and patterns that
have kept us stuck in fear, resentment,
anger, depression, victimization and self
loathing is incredibly liberating and truly
life changing. Imagine how light and
energized you will feel after cleaning out
your mental clutter.
What activities aid in releasing these old
practices, ideas and beliefs?
A good place to start is with anything that
allows you to let go, relax, and tune in
to your intuition. Let your mind and heart
expand. You may uncover actions that
are holding you back from your dreams.
Pay attention to every intuitive hit. Allow
yourself to envision your wildest dreams,
goals and desires. Write down whatever
comes to you. Edit nothing.
Focus on what your ideal life looks like.
Is it a new career path, strengthening
relationships, furthering education;
maybe you want a totally fresh start.
Are you in a place of transition where
circumstances and relationships are
shifting and changing? Now is the perfect
time to reinvent yourself. Stop satisfying
everyone else and find new ways to
present your true, authentic self to the
world.
Play, laugh and do more of what makes
you smile. Unload whatever is dull, heavy,
or not in alignment with your soul’s true
purpose. Revive your inner child and
grant her the freedom to direct your days
more often. Get out of your head and
into your heart. You will be amazed with
the joy of feeling renewed and rebirthed!
